i have no idea what its for and what it does. i looked for it in the rave service manual and i couldent find anything. whats is it for? do i gotta go the the tube from the dealer or can i just go to autozone?

also, this thing with the red dot is leaking.

i dried it and drove it for a while and it started leaking again. what is it for? power steering? any advice on what to do? i know you guys say if it isnt leaking it isnt a land rover or something like that, but i dont like my car leaking. i also have some leaking near the oil filter and above the water pump. im going to dry the leaking areas and see if it leaks again

Any auto parts stores should have some replacement tubing to help you with that issue.
As for the red dot on your steering gear box, how bad is the leak?
